    Not the best issue of the series so far, but it is worth reading if you are enjoying Paul Cornells run with the character. And hey, it has a brief bar fight between Thor and Logan so whats not to like? Read Full Review

    Wolverine #5 is a great jumping on point being a interesting one-shot story for Wolvie. Recommended. Read Full Review

    Gerardo Sandoval steps in for Ryan Stegman in this issue, pushing the new emphasis on Logan as a squat, hairy, ugly brawler even further. It's an approach that suits Sandoval's style well, though the civilian fashions in this issue tend to be overly garish and ridiculous. At times, Wolverine looks more like he's decked out to star in a '90s rap video parody than go drinking and butt heads with an Avenger. Read Full Review

    With only 7 issues left, I'm not sure I want to pick them all up to see the demise of Logan.. well until they find a way to bring him back of course. Read Full Review

    Holy. Cow. I figured I would give Wolverine another chance, given that there's a new artist on board, but man. Wolverine #5 isn't just bad, it's laughably bad Read Full Review

    Wolverine gets a white girl tattoo. I don't normally hate a character-focused standalone issue like this, but tonally, Cornell just doesn't feel right for Wolverine.

    At least Thor shows up and is powerful as hell. Logan picks a fight with him for the dumbest of reasons, and the way he shows off his tattoo is laughable.
